Fire Walk - Friday 17 October 2014
Some words from Carolyn Cunningham...
"The Fire Walk involves walking barefoot over hot embers at a temperature of 1236 degrees Fahrenheit! Sounds like fun. (if you think so then please join me, more volunteers are needed!) My son Paul thinks I’m mad!! That’s as maybe, but if you help me raise as much money as I can for this amazing place, it will all be worth it. You can sponsor me in person or by donating on line by following this link."
